The habitat presents lower light availability, averaging around 11.3% of full sun (PAR) in the wet season, which favors shade-tolerant adaptations. Contextual Significance
Frijolito serves as a primary site for researching ecological adaptation, particularly for C. allenii in Panama. frijolito
The site maintains significantly higher soil gravimetric water content (49.4% average) compared to C. villosissimus habitats (32.0%). The habitat presents lower light availability
Based on ecological studies within the Panama Canal watershed, acts as a distinct, specialized habitat characterized by unique environmental conditions compared to nearby areas like Gamboa. It is a critical, high-moisture area that serves as a representative habitat for specific species, notably C. allenii . acts as a distinct
